Routesetting Career Progression?

What does a routesetting career look like?

It wasn’t all that long ago when routesetters were just climbers who got a free membership and burrito for bolting some plastic holds to the wall at their local gym once or twice a month. How much has changed in the last couple decades or so? What does it mean to be a Professional Routesetter, and how do you get there? How should today’s routesetters think about tomorrow’s career choices?

Next month, we’re talking with Chris Danielson to hear how things were “back in my day…” compared to the career progression that current or future generations of routesetters have come to expect.

Setters Only! is a series of free online discussions led by Foxman McCarthy-James and Justin Wright from Vortex Routesetting, with relevant guests from across the industry. The panel-discussion-style sessions include time for interactive Q&As with attendees.
